India, April 12 -- A 'pir' (Muslim spiritual leader) was hacked to death over an accusation of insulting Islam, while in a separate incident, Hindu houses and shops were vandalised in Bangladesh recently.

Bangladesh, which witnessed a political change in recent times with the BNP coming to power after winning the general polls, is still witnessing communal tensions.

The area has a significant Hindu population.

A large number of Hindu community members live in the Daspapra market area where the murder occurred.

According to media reports, Hassan was allegedly killed by a suspected drug peddler, Mohammad Momin, following a prior dispute.

Momin has since then gone into hiding, and his residence has remained vacant.
